No, you gave what you thought was a perfectly good explanation of why (game) boards are logical on this site. But they aren't. Not with the name as it is, if we are taking it literally.

Yes, but, again, if there's something in the FAQ that is lacking clarity then you have the board to fall back on and ask others for guidance on whatever it is you're not completely understanding. That's why boards for games need to exist on this site. Boards for politics serve no purpose but to cause flame wars. Sorozone is correct. If we are taking the name of the site literally like you are doing by focusing purely on the "Game" portion, then the latter portion ("FAQs") means the boards should be deleted. There should be no "fall back on" like you are suggesting. It's either a FAQ with the walkthroughs and Q&A sections or nothing at all. Your choice pete. --- Thanos was wrong.

Topic	Where do I go if CE is shut down? Where do we go?
WTGHookshot 06/01/23 6:32:56 PM #29	VFalcone posted... I found a place in Politics/261. I read the threads there and made my own quite often. I got to know many of its users. Obviously, we all know by now that 261 is no more. After that, I came here. I got a good understanding of the vibe here. Additionally, I kept Realpolitik on my radar as a new potential "home". But now Realpolitik is gone. I had bookmarked that sub after the death of 261 and watched it to see if the community would revitalize. Now all that's left is CE... the chances this board lives much longer seems considerably low. Reddit is not an adequate replacement. If CE is shut down, where is the next destination? Probably one of the community boards like Hellhole. And when that gets shut down, then we probably swarm the console boards and just ignore the "No politics on console boards" stance, considering many people already do... they just don't get reported so the mods don't pay attention. --- Thanos was wrong.

Topic	Dude uses a backhoe to remove a hornet's nest...
WTGHookshot 06/01/23 6:29:57 PM #17	When I was younger, my grandmother had a bee's nest about the size of a soccer ball in the hedge right next to the fort my cousin, the two neighbor boys, and I built. While I was inside grabbing a snack, the three of them decided to use a lighter and an aerosol spray can (I think it was spray paint) to light the nest on fire... and the hedge. Surprisingly, no one got stung and the hedge, while on fire near the nest, did not light up like a Christmas tree, so the fire was easily put out with a bucket of water. That said, I can't believe that it worked out that way, as it seriously defied the odds when dealing with bees and with plant life on fire in general. --- Thanos was wrong.

The right furniture doesnt magically show up at your doorstep without effort, and your view is similarly confounding. ...you seemed to miss my point. A significant other is NOT a piece of furniture, so we shouldn't be doing the same things that we do to discover the perfect piece of furniture for significant others. Yet, that is exactly what you are saying to do: treat romantic interests like furniture. If you surveyed all the couples with a great marriage and asked how they met their beloved soulmate, almost all if not all of them will say dating. Approximately zero will say that God miraculously placed their partner in front of them and that they did no work. I can already tell we disagree on what "couples with a 'great' marriage" would be in the very first place. Your mental rationalization of dating is not unique. Just the opposite. I hear it all the time from friends who are, subconsciously or consciously, simply insecure about dating. Then they date, eventually meet the right person, and realize they never had the right view. Well, you will never see that from me, as I won't date. My view isn't changing on this, sorry. --- Thanos was wrong.

Because the "right one" completes you, the other half of a single entity. There is no more "you" (individually) and no more "them."

You have no idea how the real world works and you sound like an edgy teenager. I'm glad you're ok with being alone because you will be and with that attitude it's deserved. I hope if you do ever find someone to be with that your attitude changes and if not i wish god's mercy for that person. My attitude will not change. It has been the same for 34 years. You are most likely right in that I will be alone, but I am okay with that. I can't change the rest of the world/rest of people, and I myself am unwilling to change.

Learning and growing is part of what it means to be alive. You are letting life pass you by with this attitude. If you are happy being alone, then kudos. I mean it. But maybe keep your mouth shut, as your views on relationships is frankly insulting to humanity. It is clear we probably have not conversed prior to this topic before, as you'd most likely already know my views on humanity's existence. I disagree on what it means to be alive, personally (which I guess isn't shocking, considering we view things very differently).

WTGHookshot 06/01/23 4:05:43 PM #174	NoxObscuras posted... Hey, you're free to believe all of that if you like. Just know that it's an unrealistic expectation and the odds of finding a romance that goes like that are astronomically low. Not just because situations don't typically play out like they do in movies, but also because there are a lot of people out there that you'd just flat out never meet if you weren't looking. Take my girlfriend for example. She's everything I could ask for in a partner, and I'm already 100% sure I'm going to marry her in the future. But I never would have met her, let alone dated her, if I didn't go on dating sites and actively pursue a relationship. She doesn't live anywhere near me, or the places I frequent. I do realize that finding a romance like that is astronomically low. However, I sincerely believe with every single bone, drop of blood, tissue, and cell in my body that it should be that way for everyone. As in, very, very, very, very, very few people should ever be in relationships to begin with. As for your situation, I appreciate that you are seemingly happy in this moment. However, please come back to me on your or her deathbed and tell me: A) if it's your deathbed, it worked out and you stayed together for the rest of your life and she is ready to kill herself the moment you die in order to not live without you; B) if it's her deathbed, do you plan to kill yourself the moment she flatlines? If not, then no matter how long and happy your lives were together, it won't even slightly change my mind on the topic. --- Thanos was wrong.

Youre gonna sit in your room and play the switch while they sit there and watch and grow more in love with you? I think my wording was previously off. What I meant by "not date" is "not date around." Sorry if that was unclear. What I meant is not go through a bunch of dates with different people, looking for the person you just don't grow bored of. I did not mean not go on dates with "this person." Sorry if that was unclear. As far as "sit in your room and play the Switch while they sit there and watch": in a way, yes, they would at times. They would also play the Switch with me at times. I would watch them play at times, too. We would complete each other, not looking to change one another, just fitting comfortably into each other's lives. However, that's a huge assumption that I would ever randomly meet that person. Realistically, I wouldn't (and that's completely fine by me). Just like realistically, 99.999% of people won't (which is why so, so, so, so many people settle for others). --- Thanos was wrong.

WTGHookshot 06/01/23 3:16:42 PM #167	-Kicksave- posted... WTGHookshot has created his own worldview about how relationships should work that is divorced from reality. Its like thinking that the job that you really want and pays well and fits your passion should magically fall in your lap. For 99% of people, it doesnt. Youre not going to be sitting on your ass when someone walks buys and says you should work for my video game design company for six figures! 99% of people have to work for it, pursue it, and position themselves for the job they want. The same is true of relationships. In my single days I studied a lot of relationship experts and advice and its 100% clear that this mindset of some magical fairy tale meet the one divine intervention holds people back. Dating is a numbers game. I fully disagree with that, personally. I feel those "dating" is an affront to true romance. "Holds people back"... From what? Pursuing relationships that shouldn't be? From just picking and choosing a mate like you would a piece of furniture, waiting for the "best fit"? Only to maybe find a different piece of "furniture" you like better later? To treat people as disposable, interchangeable commodities? To settle for someone due to some stupid desire for companionship? What makes them relationship experts? Because they know how to "sell" people like they would a house or car and get a decent correlation? (I.e., "I'll keep this car until I drive it into the ground") Thanks, but I will pass. --- Thanos was wrong.

Personally, I feel that it's those 95% of relationships that have the wrong mindset. Looking at how many relationships end? Yeah, I'll take my chances with the 5% than the 95%. lolife67 posted... Yeah, you really don't understand how any of this works lol what you're describing isn't "natural." You're expecting a supernatural intervention to basically make a woman fall into your lap without you doing anything at all. That's not "organic" or anything of the sort. It's a fantasy. From my perspective, that's what relationships and romance are supposed to be about in the first place. It is supposed to be something that is pretty much "supernatural." I observe everything around me and I feel that 99.99% of the relationships I've seen should never have happened from my perspective, which is why so many of them end. They just weren't meant to be, yet pursued it anyways rather than be fine being alone. Look no further than the divorce rates. That should easily tell you the wrong people are getting together. Those shouldn't have happened in the first place, from my perspective. You can call my mindset "wrong." You can tell me I'm an idiot or I don't understand. But none of that is going to change my mind on this. I feel deep within my bones and soul that romance is supposed to be fantastical, pretty much unreal, magical. It's why I want religion and government to get out of marriage. It's why I want there to be less pressure on marriage being "the next step." No... Marriage is something that is supposed to be truly, truly special, in my eyes. It is the union of two people into one inseparable being, not from a religious or governmental perspective, but from the perspective of those romantic partners themselves. That they cannot live without one another. Anything less than that, from my perspective, is a farce. It is grotesque. I'd rather see 99.99999% people go unmarried than for people to get married and corrupt the (non-religious) sanctity of that act. --- Thanos was wrong.

WTGHookshot 06/01/23 1:34:18 PM #153	NoxObscuras posted... If you truly don't care about being in a relationship, then there's nothing wrong with that. But generally speaking, men can't take the "I'll just let a relationship happen naturally" approach because men have to be the ones to initiate. So I get why he said it's a bad attitude to have. Because some guys just sit and wait for it to fall into their lap and then get mad when nothing happens. That's what you don't want to fall into. I am not the type to initiate. From my perspective, the "right one" will occur naturally. And if it doesn't happen, then it wasn't meant to be (and that's completely fine). No reason to get mad or sad or anything like that. I'd rather be single the rest of my life than to go out of my way trying to find/force a relationship by having to change and be someone I'm not (i.e., initiating myself). Like this past weekend: I was with family and we went out to dinner. I thought the waitress was cute, and my family could tell. They kept telling me to ask for her number and I told them "no." Rather than respect my wishes, my sister pretended to be me and wrote a note to the waitress giving her my number. Then they kept asking me if she texted or anything the rest of the weekend. She didn't but I wouldn't have expected her to. I thought she was cute, but there wasn't a spark during our interactions as she waited on us. My family just didn't seem to understand that. When they pushed me to ask for her number, it felt fake, unnatural, non-organic, forced. It would have been completely different if, say, as she took my order something clicked, like she made a comment or we accidentally touched hands or laughed at something together. But going out of my way to push something? That doesn't feel right and I know that, even if we did get together, it wouldn't have lasted, as it wasn't something natural, something organic/happenstance. --- Thanos was wrong.

Like I said, if it doesn't happen for me, then it wasn't meant to be and I'm perfectly fine with that. I don't need a relationship to live and enjoy life.

The only time I buy ports/remasters is if they include additional content or change up the gameplay quite a bit (i.e., Final Fantasy XII: Zodiac Age compared to the original PS2 Final Fantasy XII).

Topic	How do people accumulate enormous backlogs?
WTGHookshot 05/30/23 8:53:23 AM #18	I have a huge backlog. A lot of my games are hard to find games, so when I do find them, I buy them. Otherwise, I might never find them again (or when I do, it's something like Panzer Dragoon Saga where I passed on it for being too expensive at the time [$200] but now is even more ridiculously expensive [like $1,000]). Some of it is sales. Some of it is gifts/hand-me-downs from friends/family. That said, I do indeed go back to old games all the time. I usually play like 4-10 games at a time. I also bounce back and forth between generations a lot. --- Thanos was wrong. Mike Ehrmantraut, "The moral of the story is: I chose a half measure when I should have gone all the way ...

Topic	Would you play a game where you perform morally reprehensible acts?

Its a fun game, but you do sadistic shit like break into poor people's houses and steal their life savings, commit genocide against alien lifeforms, or stomp on turtles. So, Zelda, Metroid, and Mario? Yes, I enjoy playing a number of Nintendo games. --- Thanos was wrong.

Topic	Thoughts on being married/having kids slowly not being da norm anymore
WTGHookshot 05/30/23 7:25:07 AM #14	Yes, I like that being married and having kids is no longer as much of the norm as it used to be. To me, marriage is supposed to be something extremely special. It is supposed to be the peak part of a relationship in the union of two individuals into a single entity. Personally, I feel marriage is something personal between two people, not something that should be established by government or religion. To me, marriage should essentially end like ~~Episode 3 of The Last of Us, where Frank and Bill both commit suicide together in their bed after living a long and happy life together~~. To me, it should not end in divorce or splitting up. If you can't go into the marriage and know yourself and your partner so fully that you know it won't end until you both die (and not begrudgingly either, where you stay in the marriage just because it is easier or something), I feel you shouldn't be getting married. If that means less than 1% of all humanity ever gets married, so be it. I'd rather that than for the majority of people to disgrace the (non-religious) sanctity of marriage in my eyes. To me, most people are not fit to be parents. Sometimes, it is due to their personalities. Sometimes, it is due to their compatibility with one another in raising children. Sometimes, it is things that are outside of their control (like not having enough money or time to properly raise their child/children). Many of those with money got that way by being greedy, selfish people who "played the game." That usually means they aren't fit to raise children in my eyes, even if they have the financial means. Many of those with plenty of time got that way by being lazy and having others take care of their needs for them. That usually means they aren't fit to raise children in my eyes, even if they have the time. Like the marriage situation, I feel that my criteria probably makes it so there aren't many that I feel are fit to be parents, so that's why I am okay with less people having less kids. Additionally, I feel the human species is a failed species, so why continue its procreation any further? --- Thanos was wrong.

Topic	i am excited for FF 16 because Nomura doesn't have a hand in it
WTGHookshot 05/30/23 6:59:02 AM #6	apolloooo posted... A lot of his project especially the whole nova cystallis had messy and very bloated development. I am not a square enix fan exactly, hell i'd put them below EA or activision simply because i care more about square's IPs. (RIP deus ex, i hope thq nordic did it right for you) but can't blame square when ff xv's development time surpass literally a console's lifetime. Like his skills is creating spectacle (kingdom hearts had a lot of cool moments for example) i do admit that. He's good at that, but he shouldn't be allowed to head a development team or write. (twewy was good, that's it) Just want to point out that the Nova Crystallis was not Nomura's idea. Nojima was responsible for the Nova Crystallis. Final Fantasy XIII (Toriyama), Final Fantasy Versus XIII (Nomura), and Final Fantasy Agito XIII (Tabata) were all formed from it but from different interpretations of it by each director. The only Nova Crystallis game he was more than just a character designer for was Final Fantasy Versus XIII. --- Thanos was wrong.

Topic	Succession series finale predictions spoilers
WTGHookshot 05/29/23 11:28:12 PM #19	Seriously disappointed that the ending wasn't the Waystar-Royco executive level floor being blown up or an earthquake causing it to topple over or an accidental helicopter flying into it. Or at the very, very, very least Mattson screwing over Tom in the end, firing Greg, Karl, Karolina, Gerri, Hugo, Tom, and the rest and then getting screwed over himself by having a major investigation into his company and his treatment of employees like Ebba, leading to him going to jail for a long ass sentence, while Mencken has Rome killed, Tom in a fit of rage takes out Shiv and then, repulsed by what he did, takes himself out, and Kendall ODing in his depression of how things turned out. --- Thanos was wrong.

Topic	Can you support Republicans and still be a good person?
WTGHookshot 05/29/23 6:07:25 PM #36	myusernameislame posted... No. People need to stop this shit. Politics isn't some reality show on a separate plane of existence we're all watching. If you "politically" want to exterminate LGBTQ+ people, you want to exterminate LGBTQ+ people. If you "politically" want to stop people who disagree with you from having a voice, you want people who disagree with people to stop having a voice. If you "politically" value your guns more than the lives of children, you value your guns more than the lives of children. I could go on. Fuck the idea that "politics" is a shield for having shitty morals. The issue is, there is no such thing as "shitty morals." At least not in a universal sense. Morals in general are subjective, so how "shitty" or not they are is entirely dependent on the viewer viewing them. What you consider "good morals" may be considered "shitty morals" by someone else (and vice versa). That's why preaching morals is pointless. All it is doing is saying "Your morals must match mine." But when every single person is "saying" that same thing, then at best, it does nothing... At worst, it forms "teams" and "tribes" where you have common morals that then war with other teams and tribes of differing common morals. Both teams/tribes have morals and both sets of morals are equally "shitty" and "good" in terms of any inherent/universal nature, but those difference in morals will lead to conflict and struggle ad nauseum until the end of time. --- Thanos was wrong.

Topic	Favourite console startups?
WTGHookshot 05/29/23 9:31:40 AM #5	...I am disappointed. I came into this topic hoping people would be talking about start-up companies that developed consoles, like the Ouya, the Gamestick, the Playdate, etc. I was hoping to learn about fresh consoles that I have never heard about before, as I am severely disappointed with the big 3 and won't be buying their consoles any longer (i.e., Xbox 360 is my last Xbox console, PS4 is my last Playstation console, Switch is my last Nintendo console). Any start-up consoles you folks are interested in? --- Thanos was wrong. Mike Ehrmantraut, "The moral of the story is: I chose a half measure when I should have gone all the way ...
